Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy

Chapter 280

This was Alice and Joshua’s first meal together alone. Alice could not hide her excitement and kept offering Joshua more food during their meal. Joshua had wanted to talk to her about what happened on this day, but seeing how enthusiastic she was, he could not bear to bring it up.

After he finished his food, Joshua set down his cutlery. “Alice, I have something to tell you.“

Alice was in the middle of clearing the table as she handed the dirty plates to a servant and smiled at him. “Can’t it wait? What’s so urgent that you have to bring it up right here?“

“There was a surveillance camera in the art gallery that day.“ Joshua gave her a meaningful look. “The painting Luna ruined was a fake one. However, there was a pinhole camera embedded in the painting.“

Alice’s hands stiffened at that. Then, after a moment, she let out a strained laugh. “How’s that possible…“

Theo was there on the day Luna ruined the painting. I f he did have surveillance footage of the entire incident, why did he not provide it as evidence?

“That’s all I want to say. “ Joshua stared at her. “We used to be honest with each other in the past. You used to tell me everything. It was because of our shared honesty that I could trust you, and I was willing to help you and support you in everything.

“Now, I don’t know who you’ve become anymore. “

With that, Joshua stood up and turned around to leave.

Alice clenched her teeth. “Where do you think you’re going?“

Joshua paused mid-step, but after a moment, he continued walking. “Since you’re not truthful to me, I don’t think I’m obliged to tell you everything either.“

Alice’s expression darkened as she watched the man’s retreating figure. Finally, she stormed upstairs and into her room. She pulled open the bottom drawer of her nightstand and took out a phone. “Mr. Walter, stop everything, “ she snapped into the phone.

Alice knew Joshua would not lie to her about this. However, if Luna had surveillance footage of what truly happened that night, all her plans would be ruined. She could not take this risk.

Joshua drove his car all the way to Swan Lake Residences. This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.

This was the place where Theo and Luna’s new house was located. Last night, after he heard Luna mentioning her move, Joshua had ordered Lucas to track down where Theo lived.

When he arrived at the building, Joshua saw a moving van pulling away, leaving Luna and Theo standing on the front steps. Luna held a duffel bag while Theo had her suitcase with him. Together, they entered the building and disappeared from Joshua’s sight.

Joshua frowned and contemplated for a moment before he got out of his car and followed them.

”There’s a farmer’s market nearby. I’ll bring you there tomorrow to have a look, ” said Theo to Luna as they got out of the elevator. He wheeled Luna’s suitcase along until they arrived at her front door. Then, with a smile , he left the suitcase next to her and turned to leave. ”Alright then, I’111et you unpack in peace now. I’ll see you tomorrow.”

”Alright.”

Although Luna and Theo would be living near each other, they were not exactly next -door neighbors. The units at Swan Lake Residences were studio apartments, and there were six or seven units on each floor. Luna lived three doors away from Theo.

When Luna went to sign the contract, the landlord had told her that the two units between Theo and her were empty. He was curious as to why Luna did not want to live next to him.

Luna had a reason for this arrangement. She was afraid that if Neil and Nellie were to come over in the future, they would make too much noise and end up disturbing Theo. Besides, Luna wanted to keep a respectful distance from him. Therefore, she decided that it was best to live a few doors down from him instead.

Theo seemed to understand that, so he did not insist on coining in but instead went back to his unit. Luna let out a sigh of relief, reached for her keys, and unlocked the door.

Just as her door swung open, she heard footsteps behind her, followed by the sound of her suitcase being pushed. Thinking it was Theo, Luna let out a laugh and said, “I thought you wanted to go home. “

She pushed the door open and stepped aside. The person behind her wheeled her suitcase into the dark house. The entire place was pitch black, so Luna fumbled around in the dark until she found the light switch and flipped it on.

Just as the lights came on, the door behind her slammed shut with a loud thud. She furrowed her brows in mild irritation. She turned around and said, “Theo, didn’t you say…”

Luna’s voice trailed off as she finally laid eyes on the man standing before her. Joshua plopped onto the couch in a swift and graceful motion, shooting her a cold glance. “Why do you look so disappointed to see me?”
